Tilden Terrace, Culver City, California, USA | 2013
Architects: Stephen M. Albert, The Albert Group Architects
Client: Culver City Redevelopment Agency
This contemporary design reflects the progressive architectural and artistic expression seen throughout Culver City’s transforming cityscape. The surprise is that these elements are used for affordable housing. The scale, choice of materials, and colors relate to the storefront community development implemented throughout the city. This project will serve as a connection from the West-Washington corridor and the bustling downtown development to the East. The development includes 33 units of one, two, and three-bedroom configurations. As affordable housing, the building will allow residents to live near their workplace reducing commuting time and gas usage. The community is made safer through a compact urban infill design. The site plan for the project was developed in partnership with the Culver City Redevelopment Agency. The street and sidewalk enhancement, including landscaping, were extended into the retail store fronts. The result is an attractive, inviting, and shaded street edge that enchances the commercial success of the project.
